Cinco De Mayo Catering

Cinco de Mayo Catering NYC

Celebrate Culture and Flavor

Cinco de Mayo has grown into a lively, colorful celebration in New York City. While it marks a historical victory in Mexican history, today it’s widely celebrated with music, food, and community gatherings across workplaces, schools, and homes. And for those planning a group event, catering is the simplest way to honor the spirit of the day without the hassle of doing it all yourself.

At Green Apple Catering, we help bring the flavor and festivity of Cinco de Mayo to offices, nonprofits, rooftop parties, and everything in between. Whether you’re organizing a team lunch or a casual after-hours event, our packages make it easy to serve bold, satisfying dishes with just the right amount of flair. Like our other Occasion event catering, these celebrations are designed to be fun, inclusive, and hassle-free.

Who Is Cinco de Mayo Catering For?

Corporate Offices Hosting Lunches or Happy Hours

More companies are embracing Cinco de Mayo as an opportunity to engage their teams with themed meals and casual get-togethers. Whether you’re planning a lunchtime buffet or a taco bar to kick off an afternoon social, catering helps you create an energizing environment without disrupting the workday.

Our corporate catering services are designed for ease—complete with delivery, setup, and optional decor for a festive touch.

Schools, Community Centers, and Nonprofits

For schools and community groups, Cinco de Mayo is often a chance to explore Mexican culture through food, music, and tradition. We offer kid-friendly and adult-friendly options, all designed to be sharable, easy to serve, and culturally respectful. From fajita bars to chips and salsa trays, our team curates meals to fit your theme and timeline.

Private and Social Events

Whether you’re hosting a rooftop get-together, birthday party, or casual evening with friends, we’ve got options to match the mood. From build-your-own buffets to individually packaged meals, we deliver menus that are festive, filling, and fun to eat. And if you’re combining Cinco de Mayo with a birthday or spring celebration, we can help you style the event with menu add-ons and desserts that bring it all together.

We bring the same energy we use for Halloween events or Mother’s Day celebrations, just with more jalapeños and lime.

Themed Catering Options That Guests Love

Our most popular option for Cinco de Mayo is the Mexican Fajita Bar—a colorful, fully customizable setup with seasoned proteins, fresh toppings, tortillas, rice, and beans. It’s perfect for both buffet lines and casual grab-and-go formats. We also offer chips and guacamole stations, taco platters, and enchilada trays that work well for both lunch and dinner service.

More Ways to Customize Your Spread

If you’re planning a larger event or want to mix in some variety, our special buffets allow you to pair Mexican-inspired mains with sides from other global cuisines. We can also accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free requests by incorporating grain bowls, salads, and specialty sides.

Need an Easy Office Setup?

For mid-size groups, our lunch boxes are an excellent solution. Each guest gets an individually packed meal, labeled and sealed for freshness. This is a great option for hybrid workplaces or teams with dietary preferences. Pair it with our side salads or a dessert tray to complete the meal.

Make Room for Dessert (and Drinks)

Every good celebration deserves a sweet ending. Our themed dessert options are a fun way to wrap up your Cinco de Mayo event. From churros to dulce de leche brownies to chocolate-dipped treats, we offer packages that fit any vibe—from buttoned-up office settings to lively rooftop hangs. You can find favorites in our desserts menu—and yes, we do bulk cookie trays too.

Flavor Without the Fuss

Not every Cinco de Mayo event has space for hot food or full buffet service. That’s where room temperature menus shine. Our room temperature options include chips and dips, sandwich platters, side salads, and festive snacks that are easy to serve, transport, and share—no warmers or outlets needed.

Dietary Needs? No Problem

Food should be fun and inclusive. Whether your guests are vegan, gluten-free, low-carb, or just picky eaters, we’ve got solutions. Pair hearty mains with salads, soups, and veggie-forward options like those from our create-your-own salad menu or our vibrant soup selections.

Other Spring Celebrations You Can Pair With

Planning a multi-event week? Cinco de Mayo often falls close to Administrative Professionals Day, and some clients combine celebrations into one event. We can help you build a cohesive menu that works across departments or teams, much like we do for Administrative Day meals or Veteran’s Day lunches.

Prep Now, Fiesta Later

We recommend booking your Cinco de Mayo catering 7–10 business days in advance to secure your preferred delivery window. We’re happy to accommodate last-minute requests if possible—especially for drop-offs or lunch tray packages. For ideas, check out our themed dinner menus or keep it light with our sandwich lunch packages.
